Detecting discriminative semantic attributes from text which correlate with image features is one of the main challenges of zero-shot learning for fine-grained image classification. Particularly, using full-length encyclopedic articles as textual descriptions has had limited success, one reason being that such documents contain many non-visual or unrelated sentences. We propose a method to automatically extract visually relevant sentences from Wikipedia documents. Our model, based on a convolutional neural network, is robustly tested through ground truth labeling obtained via Amazon Mechanical Turk, achieving 81.73% F1 measure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
